Official Jan. 10th Panthers/Cardinals Tailgate Thread


mush

Recommended Posts

Playoff tailgating in Charlotte begins at 8am on Jan. 10!!!!!! Our food and non-alcoholic drink is provided FREE of charge with Toys for Tots donation buckets present. 100% of donations go directly to purchase bikes for next year’s toy drive at the stadium. Our free tailgate food is provided by Ranucci’s Big Butt BBQ (www.ranuccis.com) and the all day feast is extensive. Starting with Bojangles biscuits in the AM, then around noon we will have some chicken breasts and chicken wings. The dinner fare starts around 5:30 pm and will consist of prime rib, seafood, baked potatos, fried potato wedges, salad, rolls, beans, and other side dishes and desserts. There will be plenty of waters and assorted sodas to drink for free as well.

This week’s tailgate is sponsored by posters Charlottenian, Towelboy, Madhatter, tattoorhino, and Murph. Without these people we would not be fortunate enough to have this incredible tailgate. Our sponsors have been GREAT this season and be sure to thank them for their generosity this week. Hope to see you all there!

Here’s the usual info:

Tailgating FAQ’s

1. Where do you guys tailgate? A group of 100+ people on the Huddle congregate at a lot that borders Church St., Poplar St., and 3rd St. downtown. Our group is at the corner of 3rd and Poplar RIGHT BESIDE THE LOWER LOT GATE. If you come to the lower entrance gate on the sidewalk you cannot miss us. We are always in the spot BESIDE that gate. We have a big 3X9 banner attached to our tent facing 3rd street that says carolinahuddle.com with big Panthers eyes.

2. How much does it cost? If you park in that lot, it costs $30 and it’s only 3 blocks from the stadium. But you don’t have to park in the lot to tailgate with us. You can easily drive back a few blocks from there and park for $5 or $10 and just walk up. Another popular option is to take the train into town for a few bucks.

3. What’s at this tailgating spot? Food and people, how many depends on how many show up. We have 4 tents for cover if it rains and for shade. All the condiments, plates, napkins, and plastic silverware will be there as well.

4. What do I need to bring? If you drink alcohol you need to bring your own as well as a donation to Toys for Tots. We never provide alcohol due to liability issues. If you do not like what we're serving then you need to bring your own food. We will give you grill space if you need it. Everything else is free (food and non-alcoholic drinks). If you bring a cooler make sure it has ice in it because ice is always in tight supply on gameday. We’ll be glad to store your cooler in our cars during the game but we’re not responsible for it if it gets stolen or if a beer comes up missing during handling.

5. What time do you start? This week we will start at 8 AM.

6. Is anyone welcome? Absolutely! Everyone is welcome even opposing fans.

7. Is it appropriate for kids to come to this? Kids are always welcome but parents should use their own judgment in bringing them. We are not responsible for what they may see or hear and we do not police adult behavior before football games.

2011 - Planning in advance is always a good thing...

Prime rib is a great idea and will absolutely work. Not sure if the GTG family will be there - we've got a birthday party, then a volleyball game, then need to get Go To Daughter to wherever she's going to spend the night. Go to Son will be using her ticket - he'll wait until the next day go back to school. Just don't know what time all that will take - if we can make it work, we'll be there. If not, you all have fun.

    • I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
    • I am actually really excited about this kid. One thing that really jumped off watching his highlights was he almost is too fast or almost over pursues. You can get away with that stuff in college but the NFL these guys are stronger and more "slippery".  Little things that can be corrected but he seems to have a motor which is always a plus!
